The author chronicles his experiences during the four days of events surrounding the peace march on the Pentagon in October, 1967

"A Signet book."

Centers on the March on the Pentagon, the most famous anti-Vietnam War rally in Washington DC, and the characters that occupy this opposition: the intellectuals, students, African Americans, liberals, and marching women. Mailer, a novelist-as-character, sculpts this impressionably fragile world of the left versus authority and peace versus war, prodding at the Vietnam generation's deepest anxieties
